Sometimes, when you try to install software that Windows cannot verify, you might see this error: "This Publisher has been Blocked from Running Software on your Machine". If you are sure that you want to proceed running this software and it will not damage your computer, you need to allow the publisher in Windows. In older versions of Windows, you could do this with just a click, but on Windows 10, you don't have the option to "proceed anyway".Luckily, it doesn't take too long to unblock a publisher so you can install the application.
